us to administer our business, better provide products and services to you, communicate

type, domain name, etc.). This information is collected and analyzed in the aggregate
in order to improve the function and content of the Web Site.
As noted above, we use the information that is collected about you for a variety
of purposes, such as confirming and fulfilling your order, adding you to our e-mail
newsletter subscription list, analyzing trends and statistics, improving the operation
of the Web Site, sending informational and promotional materials, and to help us
design and enhance our products and services offerings so that we may provide you
with quality products, services and superior customer support.
We may disclose the information that we collect about you when we have reason to
believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against
persons or entities that may be causing injury to you, to us or to others. We may
also disclose information to assist in compliance with certain laws and regulations.

future (hereinafter, “ITBOs”). In these instances, we may
share or otherwise allow access to information that is collected about you that

that may be of interest. We may employ vendors to perform functions on our behalf.
Examples may include fulfilling orders, preparing mailings, delivering packages,
e-mail administrative functions, processing credit card payments, and providing
customer service. These vendors are under contractual obligation to use confidential
data only for those purposes for which they are hired.
Protection of Children:
Our Web Site is a general audience site that is not specifically designed or targeted
at children. We do not knowingly collect, use or disseminate any personally identifiable
information from children under the age of 13. If, however, we become aware that
personally identifiable information regarding a child under the age of 13 has been
collected on the Web Site, we will use such information for the sole purpose of
contacting a parent or guardian of the child to obtain verifiable parental consent.
If we cannot obtain consent after a reasonable period of time, or if when contacted
a parent or guardian requests that we do not use or maintain such information, we
will make reasonable efforts to delete it from our records. Upon request by a parent
or guardian, TriVita will provide a description of the specific types of personal
information collected from a child who is under the age of 13.
Cookies:
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier
that is sent to your browser from a web site's computers which is stored on your
computer's hard drive. Each web site can send its own cookie to your browser if
your browser's preferences allow it. However, to protect your privacy, your browser
permits a web site to access only those cookies it sent to you, not the cookies
sent to you by other web sites. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies,
reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. Each browser is different,
so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie
preferences.
If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use TriVita services that require
you to "log on," and you may not be able to take full advantage of all
offerings. However, there may be some TriVita products and services that do not
require that you accept cookies.
TriVita uses its own cookies for a number of purposes, including to:
|
|
Access your information
when you "log on," so that we can provide you with customized content
in certain online areas; |
|
|
Conduct research to improve
TriVita content and services; and |
|
|
Require you to re-enter
your Access Code after a certain period of time has elapsed to help protect you
against others accidentally accessing your account contents. |
Please note that TriVita does not control the
use or contents of third-party cookies.
Third-Party Links:
In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, TriVita may choose various
third party web sites to link to from TriVita’s Web Site. However, even if
the third party is affiliated with TriVita, TriVita has no control over these linked
sites, each of which may (or may not) have their own privacy policies and practices
in place. Any information you provide to third-party web sites will be governed
under the terms of each web site’s privacy policy and we encourage you to
investigate and ask questions before disclosing any information to the operators
of third-party web sites. TriVita has no responsibility or liability whatsoever
for the content, actions or policies of third-party web sites. The inclusion of
third-party web sites on our Web Site in no way constitutes an endorsement of such
web site’s content, actions or policies. These linked sites are for your convenience
and you access them at your own risk.
Nonetheless, TriVita seeks to protect the integrity of its Web Site and the links
placed upon it. Therefore, TriVita requests any feedback not only on its own Web
Site, but for sites it links to as well (including if a specific link does not work).
